Local Gladstone cyclist, Mark Bentz, will be leading the West Willamette Loop ride on Saturday 8/16/25. We will be meeting at Milwaukie Bay Park at 9:45am and departing at 10am.This ride is a loop ride (22 miles) that will be classified as moderate to difficult. Mark describes the ride in a way that emphasizes the challenges that cyclists encounter along the way. In Mark's words, this ride will use all gears and brakes. The ride will traverse dirt trails, steep hills, and narrow paths, occasionally near traffic.
The ride begins at Milwaukie Bay Park and heads north to the Sellwood Bridge. After crossing the bridge cyclists will ascend 500 ft up the cemetery switchbacks, take a break, and go on to Lewis & Clark College, Tyron Creek State Natural Area, and Lake Oswego. Eventually arriving in Gladstone for a well deserved lunch at the Arlington Taphouse and Food Carts before returning to Milwaukie. Total mileage back to downtown Milwaukie is closer to 30 miles.
This ride, although very challenging, is going to be a thrill for cyclists because of the challenges and the environment you encounter. The ride will put a huge smile on your face!!! That being said, make sure to bring extra hydration, snacks, and a bike repair kit(tire).
Warning: The ride is challenging and NOT RECOMMENDED for INEXPERIENCED riders and those riders with physical limitations.
